On November 2, Nakuru Town West MP Samuel Arama drove to Naivasha to attend the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI) meeting. Earlier, Mr Arama had taken a Covid-19 test at a health facility in Nakuru after he experienced chills at night. However, on arrival at the hotel where he was to spend the night, he started experiencing chills again and developed fever, pain in the joints and nausea. Soon he started experiencing shortness of breath. He informed his colleagues that he was feeling unwell, and they quickly planned to take him to Nairobi for treatment.
